Readers’ Guide on Recent Developments in International Criminal Law

It has been a busy few weeks in international criminal law, with a range of important judgments out of the International Criminal Court, the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, as well as the ICC’s first potential plea agreement, the confirmation of charges against a Lord’s Resistance Army commander, among others developments. And while there are still a number of news stories on the horizon — including the upcoming verdict in former Chadian President Hissène Habré’s trial in Senegal for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and torture (which is expected late next month) — we thought readers might appreciate a roundup of the latest news, primary documents, and commentary on the cases.
